I'm unhappy too after reading your experience There is a 0.01% background process on my mind considering how hard would it be to migrate from gae, and its indeed VERY hard, I'm also using infinitely many gae-stuff and mini-quirks I think Google lost developer-trust by locking and hustling developers with the Google Maps pricing, so I would expect anything
However, I really like GAE, and the team behind it, from my side of view its beautiful, I have a 1.5 year old app, and it has been working like a clock ( a clock that requires adjustment every now and then : ) Was your app low traffic? In my opinion there is no point in using GAE for a non-extreme traffic app (or the possibility of extreme traffic, that's the dream), because you restrict yourself in extreme ways rather than using mysql and stuff, and chill. I didn't get the problem you have described, maybe because I didn't see it before (but maybe my users too are seeing it but I just don't know about it ), but I agree that they need to provide an option for custom error pages etc. (maybe they already do, I haven't seen them yet) Every now and then, a GAE-wide error fury comes and all users face google error pages, not pretty On Sunday, February 3, 2013 12:25:12 PM UTC+2, gafal wrote: > > After months of complaining about user-facing loading requests, I'm > burned.
